    new memeber needs an immediate HELP

    The 1000mAh eGo-T battery (w/ USB passthru) is a really flexible device because it allows you to vape while it is charging via USB so you can get by without a separate charger or backup battery. I definitely recommend trying the DualCoil Cartomizers as well...and don't forget to try a few...

    Why I'm going back to smoking cigarettes

    Unless you want to try high voltage or a variable voltage mod, the Inferno is a solid eGo clone that will fit 510 atomizers, cartomizers and tankomizers as well as the 306 atomizer and many others will work with adapters. Keep in mind that cartomizers are meant to be disposable, and although...

    ARIZONA - Humana Won't Hire Smokers

    That's exactly right, but although smokers are not a protected class, people with disabilities are. According to the ADA as Amended 2008, if you fire or refuse to hire someone on the basis of a perceived disability, they are "regarded as" having that disability and protected from discrimination...

    Health Issues?

    Don't pick your nicotine strength based on what you used to smoke, pick it based on what you'd like to vape--which can become a very different experience. Personally, I rarely vape much above 1.2-1.8% (and mostly vape just 1% aka 10mg/ml) because I like just enough nicotine to give a satisfying...

    Do you plan to quit vaping?

    If you aren't worried about the effects of nicotine on your body, there's not much left to worry about. Propylene Glycol vapor is a known germicidal air sanitizer. Some people may vape more than I do, but I don't think I've ever used more than a teaspoonful (5ml) in a day--compare that to the...

    Steve Heilig at it again

    It goes further than that. Let's say a kid did find a credit card and managed to order an e-cig--is there any reason he would have to use nicotine instead of just getting the flavor that is supposedly appealing to children? If a child did use an e-cig with nicotine, is there any reason...

    WHO Recommendations for Regulaton of ENDS and Smokeless

    The only "FDA Approved treatments" all involve nicotine cessation by end of treatment. The problem is that assures a 98% relapse rate in less than 2 years! How is it possible that drugs with side effects that include suicide, depression, and violence toward others can be considered "safe" and...

    WHO Recommendations for Regulaton of ENDS and Smokeless

    In other words, because e-cigarettes are being used as an alternative to smoking, they intend to begin an "education campaign" to "characterize" them in such a way that people will think they should not use them. :glare: That's their plan. I think our plan is better--its more science-y! :vapor:

    Oregon HB3588 - "Candy Ban" Scheduled for committee hearing 4/20

    Shush!! Those are the best flavors of Jelly Belly! ;) Are e-liquids available in flavors made popular by Harry Potter/Bertie Bott/Jelly Belly like "Ear Wax", "Bogey", and "Dirt" marketing to children or is it just adults who enjoy things that taste gross?

    E-Cigarettes: An Issue for Employers Worldwide

    Maybe a lawyer could explain what "legal point of view" involves a mandate that is...uh...optional? :confused::facepalm:

    FDA to Regulate E-Cigarettes Just Like Tobacco

    I agree that we should hope and do what we can to ensure that regulations for smoke-free alternatives are reasonable and science-based... But quite frankly, it is pretty likely that the truly safest and most effective alternatives won't be approved by the FDA in the foreseeable future.:tongue:

    Steve Heilig at it again

    Cigarette taxes barely scratch the surface. What if too many of the 8.6 million smokers who have a chronic disease that is caused or worsened by smoking have their symptoms disappear after they switch to a smoke-free alternative? What will happen to funding for the new Oncology wing at the...

    Second hand smoke and ADHD

    Kickbacks have to get laundered through "non-profit" organizations, so sometimes its not direct financial incentives: Sometimes its just really cushy seminar weekends in the Caymans to get educated on all the reasons why their patients would be better off using FDA approved statin drugs than...

    Casaa "I haven't smoked since" banner

    I think I understand what you mean, I was mostly trying to make the point that using the term "e-cigarette" can be used to promote tobacco harm reduction without vilifying smoking or smokers. The fact that anti-smokers recoil at the very mention of cigarettes can be used as proof that they are...

    Casaa "I haven't smoked since" banner

    That's a decent point. Although I don't think it is necessary to shy away from the term "electronic cigarette" or "e-cig" because it is intended to be used as a reduced harm alternative for cigarette smoking, some people still want to disassociate themselves from tobacco. People who aren't...

    Vapor Toys?

    The effort it would take to concentrate enough of the active ingredient in <substances prohibited by federal law> down to just a few drops of liquid to use in a e-cigarette or Wizard Stick would be better used to make a tincture to add to beverages or cooked into foods. There's not really any...

    Coughing up a storm :(

    Yeah, kinda: Lung Juice I don't want to make any therapeutic claims about these herbs that I can't back up with science, but Nhaler's Lung Juice is worth trying if you feel like your lungs could use some soothing. Maybe its just psychosomatic, but it does seem to really help calm and sooth my...
